Thank you for sharing your story of your NDE Life is full of surprises and based on your experiences and your spirituality your life sounds fulfilled. Hopefully we get a chance to say hello again in Oct 2020 Arnulfo G. Gonzalez - 10-11-2019 I want to thank Joe DeSando for his faithful friendship all these years. I am reaching out to you with Joe’s help for the first time since our class graduation. I am sharing my story as a “Bucket List” thing I want to do since I do not do social media. I hope it doesn’t offend you that is not my intention. I am honored to have been selected to present my story at IANDS’s conferences in 2016, 2017 and 2019. The International Association of Near-Death Studies (IANDS) is an international group of cardiologists, neuroscientists, researchers, clergy, healthcare professionals, social workers, nurses and other community members. IANDS has provided scientific evidence that the NDE is an authentic experience that cannot be attributed to imagination, psychosis, or oxygen deprivation. I would like to share with you my two profound near-death experiences (NDEs). My first NDE is the rarest type of NDEs according to Greyson & Bush research findings. Most distressed experiencers are: afraid to talk about their evil existence, depressed, divorced from their spouse and have other social problems. My First NDE NDEs can be enjoyable, passive, or painful. In my experience, I was allowed to see, feel, and understand life from a diverse perspective. All beings are given that rite of passage into God’s domain. My first accident occurred around 12:30pm on July 2, 2000 in Colorado. I was up on a ladder painting the chimney of our home when I fell 28 feet to the ground and hit my head on a landscape timber. I should have broken my neck upon impact and died! My wife and son witnessed my fall. Tears came to my eyes as I write this because of the shock my wife and son must have felt watching me hit the ground. They heard the crunching sound of the injuries to my body and saw an endless stream of blood coming from my head. They did not know at the time whether I was dead or alive. The spirit of God didn’t allow me to feel this extreme pain. I arrived at the hospital around 1:30pm and was immediately taken into the trauma room. The emergency room physicians recognized my serious injuries and stopped the bleeding. While examining me, they discovered that I had broken the entire left side of my face, which meant that the bone structure above and below my eye was crushed and required reconstructive surgery. My eye was pushed back into my skull. The impact of the fall broke both wrists. After their initial examination, the doctors realized that my traumatic brain injury was critical due to brain swelling, so they decided to delay any surgery until they were able to determine if the frontal lobe of my brain was swelling internally or externally. The nurses provided care for my wife when I was given last rites. God was in control of me physically and spiritually, revealing a spiritual realm that exists in the cosmos. This distressing NDE was more evil than my tour in Vietnam as a combat infantryman where I lived the horror of war and witnessed the manifestation of evil upon a people and their leaders. As I traveled, I can’t honestly tell you the order of things as they happened, but it was real. I was being attacked by spirits that wanted to penetrate my soul. Then I saw what looked like oceans and oceans of souls in an evil dominion. There were hundreds of millions of lost loved ones. I felt their horror, pain, and torture. The wailing and hurt they were projecting at me were extremely intense. They were unrelenting, and all I could do was scream! But then the spirit of God shielded me from these acts of violence. When I first shared this with my wife and children, I couldn’t stop crying. At some point in this spiritual journey, my human nature and free will were brought forward, and I felt the immoral acts that I committed in my life. I have done things that I’m not proud of and experienced life’s pleasures along the way. Evil does confuse and deceive us during our spiritual transition by using our traits—revenge, greed, sexual desires, obsessed with power and beyond—against us. I recognize these traits as forewarnings to God’s creation. In my near death experience, I had to make a choice, evil’s realistic temptations, or God’s love. I chose God’s love. I crawled and it felt like I was going against a spiritual force to reach my rite of passage. I was guided by God’s loving light. I crossed through a spiritual barrier or collective presence or cosmic dialectic. I know it’s real. Without the love of God, we may find ourselves on the wrong side. Then I saw the entry into heaven and stood before God. I was immersed in his incredible love and peace. I never had felt such feelings of radiance in my life, and I can’t wait to go back. I was given my first message, “take care of your family” before I awoke. This has been deeply personal to me, and I am humbled to be a messenger with this declaration to you, my extended family. While I was hospitalized, the healthcare workers responded well, considering the critical circumstances. I came out of unconsciousness three days later. My wife said that I awoke with a spirit of gentleness, love, kindness, and patience. Upon recuperation, I shared my experiences with my wife and family. Their love and open-mindedness helped me recover, which is advice to all who care for a person who just had a near death experience. I did not tell workers about my NDE because I felt humbled and overwhelmed by the love of God. I still have my faults. Just because I survived, it doesn’t mean that evil has ceased. I realize that our Supreme God’s absolute love is more powerful than evil’s deceptions. In the ensuing years, I reconciled to our reality which exposes us to evil, dangerous and dramatic inequalities between high and low living standards worldwide - health, terrorism, nuclear attack, climate change, and artificial intelligence. Our current events speak to us as global warnings! Having an aerospace and energy background, I understand life has alternate realities for small particles, human beings, extraterrestrials, micro-organisms and other beings. My concern are those without souls. Before go into more about my NDEs, I have a true short story to share. When I was 11 years old, my brothers and neighborhood friend, and I were out on a summer night and saw a UFO above our Nottingham neighborhood. Forty-six years later, I found myself working on the Orion Spacecraft at NASA Headquarters in Houston. While there, a scientist shared a video with me taken from a Space Station showing UFO activity in Earth’s atmosphere. This proof supported my personal feeling about extraterrestrials. That boyhood friend of mine is now a neuropsychologist in San Diego. While at NASA, I went to a conference in San Diego and had dinner with him and his wife. One of his first questions, he asked me was “do you remember seeing the UFO as kids?”. I was surprised by his question. I answered yes. This neuropsychologist is also a Reavis alumni. Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) is the scientific study of UFOs for the benefit of humanity. Their website is interesting. What concerns me is the actual testimony of former military professionals who worked at nuclear missile launch sites and witnessed UFO activity enabling launch codes and disabling missiles. This is another global warning! IANDS and MUFON work reveals unselfish values. These communities are expanding our and the public’s understanding of life existing in dissimilar realities. It is good to be aware of like-minded organizations and beings trying to guide us toward a planet in balance - amongst our global inequalities. Let’s not undermine our divine DNA connections of love with God or his other creation. My Second NDE My second life-threatening NDE was not like the first. On February 23, 2012, I underwent what should have been outpatient surgery at a hospital in Oregon due to sleep apnea. My surgery included Septoplasty, Inferior Turbinoplasty, and Uvulopalatopharyngoplasty (UPPP). Based on what my wife understood, the anesthesiologist did not properly dose my surgery. I suffered a “negative pressure pulmonary edema,” so both of my lungs filled up with blood and fluids. Almost simultaneously, I incurred “acute respiratory distress,” which caused my throat airway to swell and close. I was in the intensive care unit for three days, but I survived! The staff responded admirably, and the nurses encouraged my wife during the entire recovery. While healing, I told my wife that I was sorry I came back. My rehab was grueling and bittersweet because surgery was a painful failure. I do not recall a spiritual journey, only being given a message. Again, I felt humbled by another incredible message to share with God’s creation. It is more important than my return: “God is ageless. He is the Supreme God of all creation. His absolute love for all his creation is eternal. Our spirituality, consciousness, and free will are his gifts to us. Evil continues to grow.” I respect the humanistic need or desire for religion, but I truly realize that God is bigger than one religion and our planet. In my search to make sense of my NDEs, I found IANDS. This community of professionals has conducted some incredible exploration into distressing NDEs and spiritual afterlife. Their research helped me expand my knowledge of survival of consciousness. To assure you of my good mental health, my wife of 43 years insisted I have a neuro-psych evaluation. My doctor’s diagnostic impression for a senior person 67 falls between mild cognitive impairment and very early dementia. I am healthy. I am here only because of God’s love for all his creation! I hope we have the willpower to discern the truth from deep fake news, trust God, and are motivated to help one another. I realize life is not fair, so I make the best of my situation by sharing my story with you and others. Thanks for the memories! Arnulfo G.
